The FITT principle 8 Intensity is the level of difficulty of the exercise. In cardiovascular training, working in a target zone of 60 to 80 per cent of the maximum heart rate is the level where fitness will usually increase.

The FITT principle 9 When training for strength, the intensity is calculated in the same way. A person can train within the target zone by finding the maximum weight they can lift and working to 60 to 80 per cent of that weight.

The FITT principle 11 Time refers to how long an exercise sessions lasts. 30 minutes, to include a warm-up, is the recommended length of a session in order to maintain good health and fitness. FOR EDEXCEL 1. 1. 4 Physical activity as part of your healthy, active lifestyle © Folens 2009

The FITT principle 12 The following are useful rules to follow in an exercise

The FITT principle 12 The following are useful rules to follow in an exercise session: 1. Keep your pulse at 60 to 80 per cent of its maximum for 20 minutes (the maximum can be calculated by using this formula: 220 – your age). 2. Warming-up is not included in the 20 minutes. 3. The time begins when the pulse is at 60 per cent of your maximum. FOR EDEXCEL 1. 1. 4 Physical activity as part of your healthy, active lifestyle © Folens 2009

The FITT principle 14 If training for a specific event then less of a choice can be made, as the training should reflect the activity. In this instance, type links closely with the principle of specificity. FOR EDEXCEL 1. 1. 4 Physical activity as part of your healthy, active lifestyle © Folens 2009

The FITT principle 15 Task 1. In pairs, discuss what would happen if you suddenly stopped training due to an injury. 2. In a different pair, discuss how you think the body changes if you cannot follow the FITT principle. FOR EDEXCEL 1. 1. 4 Physical activity as part of your healthy, active lifestyle © Folens 2009

The FITT principle 16 Reversibility is the result of stopping or not training frequently.

The FITT principle 16 Reversibility is the result of stopping or not training frequently. Just as the body will increase in strength, tone and skill with exercise, it will lose them without it. FOR EDEXCEL 1. 1. 4 Physical activity as part of your healthy, active lifestyle © Folens 2009
